A child of the border herself, Claudette Zepeda grew up in both California and Mexico and sees the border as a vibrant, vital, and unique cultural and culinary place. A gifted storyteller and chef, Claudette’s recipes and ruminations humanize border culture through 100 accessible and beloved dishes such as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Coahuila’s Esquites (Street Corn)\u003cbr\u003e• Las Calandrias Caballitos (Chicken Sopes)\u003cbr\u003e• Arroz Poblano (Poblano Pepper Creamy Rice)\u003cbr\u003e• Camarones al Ajillo (Baja Style Garlic Shrimp)\u003cbr\u003e• Capirotada (Bread Pudding)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a story of a personal and culinary identity that formed betwixt two cultures, told through recipes, anecdotes, and an irreverent sense of humor. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBorderlands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e details the Mexican dishes Claudette grew up eating and loves, their American counterparts, and how the fluidity and flexibility between the two nations shows us a way of being in the world.
